According to the DPS "Workers drilling possibly hit a gas pocket causing a rumble in the ground. The workers knowing something was wrong evacuated the scene. There was then an explosion resulting in fire and damage to vehicles. No one was injured or killed."

Edit 6:47 pm:
The fire has now been extinguished by fire crews coming from Borger FD, Spearman FD, Stinnett FD, and Hutchinson County FD.
The fire began as workers were circulating flammable liquids in a pit. The liquids got too close to the rig and ignition occurred. The fire then spread from the rig to three large tanker trucks and surrounding grass. The vehicles involved were all completely destroyed and five acres of land were burned.
No injuries occurred as the initial explosion knocked crew members out of the vicinity of flames. Four companies lost equipment in the blaze - Palo Duro Equipment, Tom Coble Gas & Oil, Phil Dollar Rig Service, and Turner Energy.
